    Some make money some don't.. If you can't afford a down payment what are you going to down when the truck is down on a L/P program? That payment still comes in. These leases really aren't giving anyone a chance.

    Only way it would make sense to lease purchase... the truck is brand new, and you can take the truck and lease on to another carrier. Otherwise you are a company driver who is paying all the expenses.

    At ATS, if the truck is broke down in the Freightliner dealer shop at St Cloud MN, the payments stop until it is earning again.
